The Book of the Dead"

At the Oriental congress i'll Vienna NJ
Naville gave most interesting and instruct
i've viva Vocc account Of the origin, progress
and completion of his critical edition of the
"Toltcnbuch," or Book Of the Deas =" from
the moment when that great task was con
flcd to linn by the members OF the OrientaliSt
congress Of 1874 down to the issue of the con
Guiding Introductory volume. of which the
first COPY was laid upon the table. u. Naville
described the method upon which be had
worked. the difficulties lie had 10 overcome
and the reason why he limited his field Of re
search to papyri not later than the period Of
the Nineteenth dynasty. No one life, he said
would be long enough to complete such 4
work il extended to documents Of more re
cent date.
Among other novel and interesting conclu-
sions derived from his long and most intimate
study OF this most ancient religious book, N.
Naville has arrived at the fact that the trials
and terroGs Of the under world, as described
in the Book OF the Dead" We're not sup
posed TO await ali souls in tireir passage from
life to eternity. Some souls might encounter
certain pcrils, other souls might encounter
other pcrils. and some might altogether es-
cape the suareS Of hades. The Book OF the
Dead" Is. therefore, book of texts placed, 50
to say, in the hands of every dead Egyptian
for his protection and guidance in case Of
need: but il Is strictly provisional All these
PRAYERS and texts are also understood 70 be
spoken by the deceased himself i'll case he
finds himself beset by those especial perllS.
The book is, therefore, in no sense a ritual

The diet of cOnSumptive patients should be
ample, and should contain larger portion of
the respiratory constituents of food than IS
required in health. The appetite of consump-
tive patients is very capricious, and daily
grows more SO if it be not sharpened up by
exercise When the food taken is not ap-
piled to the purposes of nutrition, it is better
left untasted; for otherwise it lies undigested
in the alimentary canal, and sets up a serious
train of dyspeptic symptoms, nausea, and
diarThea. Kind friends often, with the most
provoking and mistaken good nature, thrust
upon the consumptive relays of the most i'm
proper food, because the necessity for nourish-
mcnt is so obvious But the fact is that when
the lungs are acting indifferently digestion
can not go on actively, since, as Arbuthnot
well observed, respiration is 1.-The second di-
gestion." Hence the quantity of food taken
by the consumptive person should be small at
each meal; but the meals may, if the sensa-
tiOnS of the patient require 1t, be more fire.
quent than in health. OF animal food, NUT
ton is the best. Fatty and oily foods, which
constitute the respiratory class should pre-
dominate, and fresh butter with bread may
be taken almost ad libitum, SO long as it
agrees with the stomach. Cream, too, is ex-
cellent, and the luxury of curds and cream is
very suitable. Milk, whenever it suits, is
advisable as a constant drink food, and good
cows milk, new, answers every purpose.
There are, as far as l can gather from nu
merous cases in which | have seen them tried,
no such specific virtues in asses milk and
goats milk as some have supposed. Tea may
be taken in moderation with perfect safety.
Fresh vegetable diets should not be omitted;
and fruits, especially roasted apples, are al
ways admissible, except in instances where
they excite irregular action of the bowels.
The Iceland moss has had great reputation,
as have jcllies OF different kinds, but these
often are slow in digestion, and they have no
specific value-D b. W. Richardson in
Popular Science Monthly.

ChlOriding.

The democrats are chloriding the ter ritory for everything in sight, How ever, they are liable to soon have trouble among themselves, in making division of accommodating spoils. Bismarck and the ReIcbstsg will not be marker" to it. When Governor Parish and his pri- vate secretary. Zuiick, came hither Bs "tenderfeet" the territorial democracy adopted them in c most affeetionate manner, desiring to obtain their sup posed influence st Washington. At that the territorial wsr-borsss boosted them into that prominence which has since gwen them great official influence here.
 Now after having caught on and reach ed this eminence, they are exercising their own sweet will and corrBllIng everything, regardless of the great ne cessltles of those who bent theIr souls and shoulders. that these few might rise. DEN.
